This framed offset lithograph, titled "The Soda Jerk" (also referred to as "A Boy and His Dog"), depicts a barefoot young boy in overalls and a straw hat sitting on a stone wall, enjoying a bottled soda. A small wooden bucket filled with additional sodas sits beside him while a terrier-mix dog looks up expectantly. This classic scene of rural Americana originates from the Norman Rockwell Museum of the South collection.
